Dune: Prophecy is een Amerikaanse sciencefictionserie van de zender HBO Max. De serie ging in première op 2024
Dune: Prophecy wordt verteld door de ogen van een mysterieuze orde van vrouwen bekend als de Bene Gesserit. Ze hebben buitengewone capaciteiten door hun beheersing van lichaam en geest. De Bene Gesserit weeft vakkundig door de feodale politiek en intriges van het Imperium, door eigen plannen na te streven die hen uiteindelijk zullen leiden naar de raadselachtige planeet Arrakis, bekend bij zijn inwoners als Dune . Speelt zich af in het universum van de epische ‘Dune’ romanreeks van Frank Herbert.
Exactly what I feared. The story doesn't add up. Only in 10,000 years will Paul Atreides be born. The Kwisatz Haderach, or the first man with gifts like those of the Bene Gesserit. And now there's this Frimmel who can resist "the voice" and has all sorts of other vague paranormal gifts that I, as an avid reader of Dune and its sequels, have never heard of. When I saw that, I actually wanted to stop this series. In fact, like Foundation, it's already kind of ruined for me by this inconsistency. I want to look further to see if they have an explanation for this, but I'm afraid not. I heard a vague story about a worm somewhere, but that didn't really convince me either. Too bad.
I haven't read the books, but I have seen the movies and miniseries, but so far I find the story thin and boring. 10,000 years before the events of Atreides and the Dune movies and already spaceships? Then time stands still there I suppose. Then I find Foundation much better. Unfortunately it will be a while before it starts again.
